~ The following definition of the word
"option" in such common use now is given
for the benefit of those not thoroughly post

the privilege of buying real estate in GER

for the privilege of buying the same at a
stated sum in thirty, ninety days or siz
months. At any time during the time stated,
B has On option to buy the farm. If he fails
to buy during the time limited, the option is
off, and is short the amount paid. That is
simply the operation of an option"

- No party in Ohio is sure of an elec.
ton. The party that imagines they are, Of
ten realize their mistake after the election
Fixed majorities in this country are few and
far between. "The BATTLE" said Patrick
Henry, sis not to the strong alone: it is to
the vigilant, the active and the brave" Yet
we sincerely believe, as every sign of coming
events indicates, that the Ohio Democracy
will march on to victory this fall, as the Re-
publican party will have to face the stern
charge of having prostituted their guardian
ship by bankrupting the treasury, running
the States credit and standing; trampling
under foot the constitutional laws of the
State, and by series of narrow-minded par
tisan laws usurped their jurisdiction and have
lost the respect and confidence of the masses,
who, in the main, are always for honest rule.

~ A balloon voyage is to be undertaken
from st. Louis to New York about the mid
die of June, under the auspices of the New
York World. The balloon will contain four
persons, Mr.. W. A. Hazen, of the United
States Signal Service, who will have with him
all the latest instruments for ascertaining
date in the science of meteorology, which
will no doubt be of much value in forecast
ing weather indications; the Worlds photog-
rapher who will take views in the cloud
land; a reporter who will give graphic des-
cription of the trip, and the manager of the
balloon. If this is successful it will be the
longest balloon voyage ever made.

~ Farmers in the vicinity of Ada are at
tempting to form company among them
selves for the purpose of developing their own
lands. Each man is to put in his farm at
800 per acre: this is to form the capital
stock, on which tax of fixed per cent. is to
be levied for sinking the first wells. The
supposition is that the first few wells will pay
for sinking more, and no further provisions
are made for funds. The above if carried
ont, would prove but little expense to each
farmer, and develop his land at the same
time.

it this way: "If the Ohio University is real

in the event of acceptance on the part of R.
B. H. there will be no counting We could
hardly recommend Mr.. Hayes as the head of
a moral educational institution, but it would
be some satisfaction to his friends, no doubt,
to find him holding Presidency which had
come to him in au honorable, Just way"

tives for the execution of their household
duties, and it must be said that, no matter
how servile may be the position Of a
Brahmin in o Brahmin household, no in
suit is given, but the servitor is held in as
much consideration as is the master. The
lot Of the Hindoo widow is not a happy
one-for the law prevents her from again
entering the marriage state, and, there
fore, she is often compelled to work for
her livelihood. The Brahminical law, so
arbitrary in other respects, is not the less
here. Widows are compelled to wear
white, to always keep their heads shaved
and covered, but the dhott form Of dress is
preserved, and even the doubtful pleasure
of taking snuff is Withheld from them.
1t will be seen that the position Of the
Brahmin woman in South India is enviabIe
to that Of her sister in North India.
Though she is not regarded as an equal,
she is little better than a chattel. The
average IIindoo mind cannot receive a wo-
man as a human being possessed of soul
and sensibility. Though she influences
the aspirations of her children, shapes their
destinies, yet she is withheld from sharing
their triumphs or their pleasures. Feel
ings akin to pity arise in the English
breast, or rather Indignation, as when
passing through the native villages he
sees engaged in severe toll the women,
while the men, squatting on the ground be-
fore their houses enjoy in the cool of the
eYentide the songs of the wandering min
strel or the latest marvel from the lips of
the professional story teller. 1t is report
ed that the most cruel in their treatment
of the women are the Iengars, who claim
for themselves more than ordinary attri-
butes. The European is to him no less an
object of contempt than a pariah, and
when the Iengar talks with a griffin Gas a
newly arrived Englishman in India is
called he does not show his disdain, for
fastidious Brahmins, when they speak to a
Sudra or a European, are accustomed to
place their hand on the stomach, and catch
ing the holy thread, present the back of
the hand to the person addressed, and at
the close of the conversation, by a rotary
motion, they display the palm. To those
who choose to regard this as an insult it is
such.
The Bfahmin is a bundle of extraordi-
nary contradictions. Witness him buying
a load of wood from a pariah. He halls
the unfortunate creature, who, setting
Town his burden, edges away while the
Brahmin examines it. The Brahmin then
moves away. The pariah approaches the
wood, and with lis hands before his mouth,
lest his breath touch the person OF the
august purchaser. he concludes the sale.
No pariah uses the public highway made
by British money and under Br itish super
vision while a noble Brahmin passes.
Brahmin youth are beset from their birth
with tedious restrictions. The dignity Of
their race and their own dignity is a theme
which never tires with their parents. Per-
haps their only luxury is that of taking
snuff, and in this even the law interferes
and lays down a certain age when they may
begin; to a bachelor this pleasure is pro-
hibited; snuff taking can only begin with
matrimony.-FrOas TIE San Francisco
ClroRicle.

A RRAHMTS TRADITION.


OF all European nations the Brahmins
have signalized the English alone with a
doubtful compliment, for there is extant a
tradition:among them that certain Bramhin
sages visited, IN the dim long age, Eng
gland, and there created white men, whom
they called Gandanas, or God-fearing men,
but ultimately these sages became disgust
ed with the ancient Britons on account OF
their keeping pariahs as servants, The
learned Brahmin who told me of this ira
dition failed, however, to inform me who
created the pariah, or human being OF low
degree. So particular are the Brahmin
about the maintenance Of their caste that
the richer community only employ be-
reavsd Brahmin widows or their poor rela-
